Explanation:
Read the attached poem, choose 3 lines. What is being compared and personified in each line
the stars winked at me
the book read itself to me
the tree whispered in the wind
this pencil wrote words perfectly
the computer has a mind of its own
my car is screaming to be washed
those cookies are calling my name
the car danced on the wet road
Answer:
the stars winked at me
Stars are thing that is being personified because they aren't human, they can't wink.
the book read itself to me
Books can't read or talk, so that's what's being personified in that line.
the tree whispered in the wind
Come on! Trees can't talk! The trees are what's being personified in this line.
Explanation:
Personification is describing an object that is not human by giving it human qualities.
Comparing is describing two object by using the words "like" or "as".
None of these lines consist of the words "like" or "as", so there is nothing being compared in this poem.

What relationships are important to justyce
Indian weddings are matchless in grandeur, glamour and luxury. They are matchless in wastage, extravagance and display of money and wealth. But this lock time proved that all such displays are worthless and meaningless. Record your opinion in your diary in 100-150 words. You are Binu/Beena
Answer and Explanation:
Dear Diary
Today I read an article about how the coronavirus affected cultural habits in different countries and how it made people rethink whether these acts were really important and had real value in people's lives. One of the cultural habits cited in the article was Indian weddings.
Indian weddings are an important part of Indian culture and are characterized by large parties, with the presence of many people, an abundance of food and much exposure of wealth, refinement and prosperity. Many people claim that the prohibition of these marriages, due to the coronavirus, showed how wasteful they are and that they add nothing to anyone's life. I do not agree with that, because I believe that cultural customs are very important and that they must be realized, because they are part of who we are.
Of course, for security reasons, it is impossible to perform these weddings now. But we must not turn our back on our culture and the customs that show who we are. We must not let our culture die and these customs must be carried forward, whenever possible.

at least two paragraphs, compare the process for electing the state governor with electing the U.S. president. Explain which process you think is more democratic with at least three reasons to justify your position.
Answer:
The debate over the continued use of the Electoral College resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump lost the general election to Hillary Clinton by over 2.8 million votes and won the Electoral College by 74 votes. The official general election results indicate that Trump received 304 Electoral College votes and 46.09% of the popular vote (62,984,825 votes), and Hillary Clinton received 227 Electoral College votes and 48.18% of the popular vote (65,853,516 votes). [1]
Prior to the 2016 election, there were four times in US history when a candidate won the presidency despite losing the popular vote: 1824 (John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson), 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden), 1888 (Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland), and 2000 (George W. Bush over Al Gore). [2]
The Electoral College was established in 1788 by Article II of the US Constitution, which also established the executive branch of the US government, and was revised by the Twelfth Amendment (ratified June 15, 1804), the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified July 1868), and the Twenty-Third Amendment (ratified Mar. 29, 1961). Because the procedure for electing the president is part of the Constitution, a Constitutional Amendment (which requires two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress plus approval by 38 states) would be required to abolish the Electoral College. [3] [4] [5] [6]
The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president via a vote in Congress only or via a popular vote only. The Electoral College comprises 538 electors; each state is allowed one elector for each Representative and Senator (DC is allowed 3 electors as established by the Twenty-Third Amendment). [3] [4] [5] [6]
In each state, a group of electors is chosen by each political party. On election day, voters choosing a presidential candidate are actually casting a vote for an elector. Most states use the “winner-take-all” method, in which all electoral votes are awarded to the winner of the popular vote in that state. In Nebraska and Maine, the candidate that wins the state’s overall popular vote receives two electors, and one elector from each congressional district is apportioned to the popular vote winner in that district. For a candidate to win the presidency, he or she must win at least 270 Electoral College votes. [3] [4] [5] [6]
At least 700 amendments have been proposed to modify or abolish the Electoral College. [25]
On Monday Dec. 19, 2016, the electors in each state met to vote for President and Vice President of the United States. Of the 538 Electoral College votes available, Donald J. Trump received 304 votes, Hillary Clinton received 227 votes, and seven votes went to others: three for Colin Powell, one for Faith Spotted Eagle, one for John Kasich, one for Ron Paul, and one for Bernie Sanders). On Dec. 22, 2016, the results were certified in all 50 states. On Jan. 6, 2017, a joint session of the US Congress met to certify the election results and Vice President Joe Biden, presiding as President of the Senate, read the certified vote tally. [21] [22]
For the 2020 election, electors are scheduled to meet and vote on Dec. 14, and deliver the results on Dec. 23. [23] A Sep. 2020 Gallup poll found 61% of Americans were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College, up 12 points from 2016. [24]

how has America changed over the years
Answer:
Every four years, Americans go to the polls and vote. Experts say approximately 23% of America have unregistered voters. Voting is vital. Every single vote counts on election day. The Presidential Election brings out the most Americans. Democratic and Republican parties go head to head in the race to become the nation’s president. In 2008, the presidential hopeful will be Barack Obama. He will provide citizens with affordable healthcare insurance. Obama will give tax breaks to the working class and improve the education systems. Education systems all across America deal with major issues. George W. Bush created the law, No Child Left Behind. The law didn’t go well when it was created. The were no proper funding and not enough teachers…show more content…
I don’t want that future for my daughters. I don’t want that future for your sons. I don’t want that future for America.” Obama wants to help children, he doesn’t want children to fail in society, that’s Obama’ vision. An Obama ad campaign stated 47 million do not contain healthcare insurance. Obama’s plan solves this problem with a national healthcare system. He will make comparable rates as Americans in Congress. Small businesses will get tax credits to cover 50% of the cost of insuring their employees. Obama will make sure that healthcare insurance work for Americans, and small businesses, not drug companies. The national healthcare system will defiantly change the system for the better. The financial bailout on Wall Street rescued the economy from total collapse from faulty mortgage loans. Obama’s plans include reworking and changing the way the economy works for the better. George W. Bush gave tax cuts to Americans who earned over $1,000,000. A large sum of people don’t believe it was a fine idea. Obama will give tax cuts to working class people and small businesses, not to the wealthy. He will create tax credits of $500 per person and $1,000 per working families. Obama will also eliminate income taxes to senior citizens who less than $50,000 a year. In the Republican party, John McCain is running for president. McCain isn’t change, He’s more of the same. He voted 90% of the time with George W. Bush.

How many lines does the poem have? How many stanzas?
Does the poem rhyme?
The Bird of Time
O Bird of Time on your fruitful bough
What are the songs you sing? . . .
Songs of the glory and gladness of life,
Of poignant sorrow and passionate strife,
And the lilting joy of the spring;
Of hope that sows for the years unborn,
And faith that dreams of a tarrying morn,
The fragrant peace of the twilight's breath,
And the mystic silence that men call death.
O Bird of Time, say where did you learn
The changing measures you sing? . . .
In blowing forests and breaking tides,
In the happy laughter of new-made brides,
And the nests of the new-born spring;
In the dawn that thrills to a mother's prayer,
And the night that shelters a heart's despair,
In the sigh of pity, the sob of hate,
And the pride of a soul that has conquered fate.
THANK YOUUU!

excerpt from Frankenstein
by Mary Shelly
Six years have passed since I resolved on my present undertaking. I can, even now, remember the hour from which I dedicated myself to this great enterprise. I commenced by inuring my body to hardship. I accompanied the whale-fishers on several expeditions to the North Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep; I often worked harder than the common sailors during the day and devoted my nights to the study of mathematics, the theory of medicine, and those branches of physical science from which a naval adventurer might derive the greatest practical advantage. Twice I actually hired myself as an under-mate in a Greenland whaler, and acquitted myself to admiration. I must own I felt a little proud when my captain offered me the second dignity in the vessel and entreated me to remain with the greatest earnestness, so valuable did he consider my services.
